You don't have to be excited to stay committed to a habit like running. This post is hilarious, and a much needed reminder when I am not feeling up for a run (or yoga or skiing or whatever it is). "It happens with our work, with our hobbies, with our relationships, and with our best intentions and biggest goals. Sometimes we’re excited and sometimes we’re not, but excitement isn’t the holy grail we make it out to be. And, frankly, I think we’re all putting way too much pressure on ourselves to FOLLOW OUR PASSIONS! and FIND HAPPINESS! and CARPE DIEM DO WHAT YOU LOVE BECAUSE LIFE IS SHORT AND YOU’RE A SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE OF BRILLIANCE WHO NEEDS TO CHANGE THE WORLD!"

I just read the book "It's Okay to Make Mistakes" to my class, written by my all-time favorite children's author, Todd Parr. The messages in all of his books are so simple and positive. And he has coloring sheets for kids!
